    The Wellerman

    In the bottle and wet I get hot buttered rum! Once it dries a little I get that caramelized almost burnt sugar note with a hint of tea that's not overwhelming. Oddly enough ones it's been on a while it turns into a flat vanilla cake kind of note on my skin. I didn't get any hint of lemon like other reviewers. Body chemistry is weird yall πŸ˜‚

    Eat Me

    In the bottle it smells like a delicious mix of vanilla cake and currants. Just all around yummy. It's the same the first few minutes after application as well but as soon as it dries down it just smells like I walked into a store that burns and sells incense. I picked this up at Dragoncon 2023 and the labbie helping me noticed I tend to think a good bit of scents have an incense undertone but recommended this for my love of foodie scents. I'll try it again and maybe rapid age it like another reviewer did (just leave the bottle open for 15-20 minutes) and see if that helps at all. Really sad because I LOVE how it smelled in the bottle.

    Pink Peach Bubblegum

    The only Dragoncon scent I ended up grabbing. LOUD PINK BUBBLEGUM is the first thing you can smell opening the bottle. The throw is crazy strong, but I don't get any hints of peach. It's the same putting it on to start with but it dries down very quickly. The dry down is a very soft nice peach with no bubblegum at all and after that it fades on me within a few hours.

    Brown Sugar, Cream, and Earl Grey Tea

    Got this recently as a blind buy from someone in the Bpal Sales Madness Facebook group. I wanted to love it so much, but I'm starting to realize that Earl Grey blends just don't work for me 😭 In the bottle it smelled delicious and very brown sugar-y which is also how it smelled when I first applied it. Sadly only an hour or so later it was just incredibly perfume-y and overwhelming. Basically it was a fail like Dad! Let me do your makeup and Fuzzy Peach Sweater and a Mug of London Fog. Medium to low throw and short wear time

    Ginormous Yule-ified Yard Skeleton

    Really love this scent. I get a good mix of the sandalwood and pumpkin, but no peppermint at all. A coworker said it literally smells like Christmas to her but couldn't explain why. The throw is light and for some reason I wasn't expecting the sandalwood and pumpkin to work well together but they really did.

    Santa Doesn’t Need Your Help

    I agree with the other reviewer that said it smells a little like sweet tarts! Which I'm really enjoying. I don't get a lot of lavender even after several hours and there is a bare hint of marshmallow. Overall a very enjoyable scent.

    Marranitos

    Agree with other reviews about the spice! But I'm LOVING IT. I can pick up on the cinnamon and pink peppercorn in the bottle and on first application and then it does dry down into a nice gingerbread scent. This is absolutely my all star favorite from the Yules I snagged 😍 I got several compliments about it at work. One of my coworkers said it reminds them of chai spice as a perfume.

    TKSnow

    I've never used TKO or Snow White, but I love lavender so I decided to just go for it when buying my Yules. At first this was almost too much of a floral lavender (although not overpowering) so I wasn't sure how much I actually liked it but on the dry down it's an amazing vanilla marshmallow that's so comforting and yummy. Definitely one I'll use again and again!

    Dad! Let Me Do Your Make Up

    For me this scent is incredibly sweet, overpoweringly so. I'm not sure if it's the marshmallow or cream that makes it so sweet, but I don't get any hints of earl grey at all. This is the only bpal so far in my limited collection I can't wear because it gives me a scent based migraine 😫 I'm going to hang onto it though and maybe see if it eventually calms down enough to wear. Edit:1/4/23 it never really calmed down enough for me to wear. It stayed overly sweet and perfume-y and migraine inducing so I ended up letting go of the scent πŸ™ƒ I guess bpal earl grey notes just don't work for me.
